Lyrics

Sinkhole

Deaf ears trembling down the stairs
Is this you?
Did anyone lose anything?
Something is drawing close

Cold hands reach another cigarette
Is this true?
My compliments to your decadence
That is my favourite you

Now we can both pretend that yesterday’s not coming back
But we would need to get reality checked
Then we can call a spade a shovel, I won’t be disemboweled
Just to get another smile from you

Is this elevation or a sinkhole
Is this just penetration as part of a curtain call
Could you be crueler than you’ve been now
Could you be anyone but, you

Now paradise is closing and you’re morose
Now paradise is frozen, morose

Reach out another glass of burgundy
Is this you?
We had everything but, anything
Lost it to someone, who?

Now the coffee stains paints portraits of this miserable life
That we both were wishing just was through
And the acid rain remind us of a better time
When perceptions were not dulled and blue

Now paradise is closing and you’re morose
Now paradise is frozen you’re closed

Is this elevation or a sinkhole
Is this just penetration as part of a curtain call
Could I be crueler than I’ve been now
Could I be anyone but, me
I’m hitching a ride back to the playground
Back to those times when we were laughing out of the blue
You were a stranger in my arms then
Please bring back the stranger I once knew
